Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate

For a brief moment, even the clansmen who were watching the Heavenly Tribulation from afar felt as if several years had passed, so lengthy had it seemed.

Even when the lightning that had nearly illuminated the central area dissipated, these clansmen were still immersed in the unprecedented shock brought by the Heavenly Tribulation.

At this time, on the small summit where Ye Pinghai was, one's naked eye could no longer clearly make out anything.

The surroundings were only filled with a large amount of ash that had disintegrated into dust and the occasional flickering of residual sparks.

A clear and piercing cry rang out from that hazy area, causing the spreading smoke and sparks to shake and scatter, revealing a man with tattered clothes, his body covered in blood.

That cry vibrated through the land, a complete release of an unyielding, indomitable, and unresigned will.

Not until his strength was utterly depleted did Ye Pinghai collapse to the ground, utterly exhausted, his limbs clinging to the hard, cold rock.

At this moment, Ye Pinghai felt as if all the strength had been drained from his body, and given his normally reserved disposition, he would seldom lose control to such an extent.

However, the Heavenly Tribulation had seemed determined to destroy him, shaking even his usual calm and inducing fear within him.

Fortunately, it was all over now.

This very moment, feeling the Golden Core within his body, which radiated an entirely different sort of brilliance, he realized that the faint spiritual power that remained was several times more potent than before.

Not only that, but the surface of the Golden Core shone with a golden glow and was filled with mysterious patterns, clearly a world apart from its previous ethereal state.

More importantly, as the thunderclouds dissipated in an instant, a formidable pressure overflowed.

The vast majority of the Green Bamboo Mountain Clan Territory was enveloped by this incredible aura.

"Is this the power of a Golden Core Cultivator?"

Ye Pinghai casually formed a Spirit Group, looking at the terrifying aura it emitted. He still couldn't quite believe it and was softly muttering in disbelief.

"Ha... hahaha..."

After an unknown period, he suddenly burst into long laughter, the corners of his eyes tinged with tears, evidently overwhelmed by emotion.

It was not until he had somewhat calmed himself that he accepted the fact that he had successfully achieved a breakthrough to the Golden Core Stage.

"Cough cough..."

He coughed out two mouthfuls of fresh blood, a tumultuous surge of qi and blood within him causing his face to turn pale.

In the excitement of earlier, he had forgotten that his body was already overwhelmed after enduring the Heavenly Tribulation.

Presently, even though he had passed the tribulation, his realm was somewhat unstable, and his injuries were indeed severe. His current state could be described as extremely pitiful.

If he didn't immediately go into seclusion to stabilize his condition, there was even a risk of falling from his current realm.

Thinking of this, he forced himself to stand up, found a relatively flat stone to sit upon, and then took out several healing elixirs to consume.

Having done all this, he immediately joined his hands together and began to circulate his cultivation technique, assuming the posture of someone engaged in cultivation.

Soon, as spiritual power began to flow, his pale face slowly regained some color.

...

At the summit of the main peak.

The three Lin Family members, Lin Shikang, Lin Shigong, and Lin Shihua, were standing side by side, all gazing towards the direction of the valley and witnessing the entire process of the tribulation.

As they watched the terrifying thunder descend, the powerful force shook the ground beneath them.

Although the three of them were all Foundation Establishment Cultivators, with Lin Shikang at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, they too were incomparably shocked.

Not until the clouds of thunder gradually disappeared and the gloomy sky regained its brightness did the land also reveal its usual tranquility.

After a long while, their minds were still absorbed in the aftershock of what they had witnessed.

After an indeterminate time, Lin Shikang was the first to come back to his senses. He lightly coughed, pulling Lin Shigong and Lin Shihua back to reality.

Seeing the paleness of the other two's faces, Lin Shikang had already regained his composure, and his expression had returned to its usual fervor.

"Third brother, Brother Ye has succeeded; he actually managed to overcome the Heavenly Tribulation and became a Golden Core Cultivator!" Lin Shihua exclaimed with excitement, and he danced with joy, seemingly in disbelief that this was true.

Seeing his reaction, Lin Shikang and Lin Shigong also shared a knowing smile, feeling a similar surge of excitement.

After all, Ye Pinghai and the Lin Family had a deep connection. The Lin Family had been kind to him, and later they had become sworn kin, establishing a very solid framework for cooperation.

Although Ye Pinghai was ultimately an outsider to the Lin Family, regardless of his cultivation strength, and even as a sworn kin, it was unlikely that he would become a core member of the family.

But after decades of interaction, at the very least, Ye Pinghai was affable and valued loyalty, far from being a villainous character.

The Lin Family had expended so much for Ye Pinghai's attempt at the Golden Core Stage, and now that he had successfully advanced, he would be expected to at least provide some care for the Lin Family in the future, facilitating quicker development.

It just so happened that in recent years, the Lin Family had expanded rapidly. The size of the clan and the strength of their cultivations had both increased swiftly.

Therefore, the cultivation resources accumulated over the years from the family's battles in all directions were nearly exhausted.

It could be said that if things continued this way, the Lin Family would enter a bottleneck period once again.

And for this very reason, the Lin Family was so invested in Ye Pinghai's breakthrough effort this time, not just because of their relationship but also for the subsequent development, making preparations on both sides.

If he were to break through to the Golden Core Stage, especially as an Alchemist, this favor would be well worth the Lin Family's time and effort.

And now, with Ye Pinghai's advancement in cultivation, this would become a reality.

Thinking of all this, Lin Shikang and the others felt somewhat relieved, grateful that the Lin Family had made such a decisive and greatly rewarding decision.
